Has anyone tried one? Haveston don't have the strap I want with PVD so I'm looking at other options.
It's this one:

I've got no idea how they work but I know I've never seen one on a watch so maybe they're terrible?
I have one
It’s not the best strap to be honest (it was a strap to hold beds and other kit together originally - not watches)
I find it comes lose during the day as my wrist flexes. It’s poorly stitched (it was a utility strap after all) so looks a bit cr@p
It’s sat in my strap box for yonks. It stank of surplus when it arrived so needed a good wash.
Glad I bought one of the first for less than a tenner, they are a lot more now.
Thanks for that.Quote:

Happy to send it to you to try if you wish?
I’ve tried mine on lots of straps and always return to the grey CWC with black hardware. It’s quite a tight fit between the lugs - like it’s 21mm or something - and just long enough for my 8 3/4 inch wrists but I like the look https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...92371439c1.jpg

Very good of you but I don't think it's going to work. You put me off :smile-new:Quote:

I did try the CWC stretch nato too which is quite nice especially against my ‘vintage lume’version https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8ea3d670be.jpg

I had one of those Falkland straps, couldn’t work out how to use it. I was glad to let it go when I sold the watch it came with.

Mine lives on a Phoenix NATO. It’s become suitably worn in to match the watch.
In the spirit of alternative offerings, I just got this grey ribbed nato from CNS. It’s a bit stiff but has potential

All strap and no watch. It's far to over bearing.
Phoenix is the one for me.
Just ordered one :thumbsup:Quote:

Those are great, have the same one.Quote:
